My Salvia hians flowered last week, and here are a couple photographs of this very beautiful plant. The inflorescence is completely filled with these plump light purple flowers. I obtained seeds from J. L. Hudson, Seedsman that gave rise to this plant, which is almost 2 year old. I brought the plant indoors because it made a couple flower stems in very late Autumn, and I did want to see its flowers. After it finishes flowering I will ease the container back outdoors.

My apologies for depth of field challenged second image, I am using a film camera and I just can't seem to get it right with low light conditions.
